Higher‐order being and time

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 464-494, June 2025.
Abstract Higher‐order metaphysicians take facts to be higher‐order beings, i.e., entities in the range of irreducibly higher‐order quantifiers. In this paper, I investigate the impact of this conception of facts on the debate about the reality of tense. I identify two major repercussions.
